10 April 2016 Sir are you 100% sure that assets loss is eligible to write off in profit & loss account....

If yes... plz clarify my one more doubt.... assume the asset opening wdv is 1 Lakh and i have sold this asset in 50000 then the loss of 50000 is not eligible to write off in profit & loss account right.....

Please clarify both my query above & earlier discussed...
